Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie travel back in time to early May, when they visited the set of Michael Glover Smith's latest film, Rendezvous in Chicago! The writer/director returns with the conclusion to his stellar Chicago Relationships Trilogy, and invited the guys to watch the second half of a two-night shoot at Hackney's on Harms in Glenview, IL.

In between filming and setups, Ian and David interviewed Smith and stars Claire Cooney and Kevin Wehby about all aspects of making an independent movie--from location scouting, to creating characters, to questioning one's calling as a performer, and getting awkwardly star-struck.

You can catch a special screening of Rendezvous in Chicagotoday at the fifth-annual Oakton Pop Up Film Festival (which runs through tomorrow at the Footlik theatre). The event is free to the public, and includes a Q&A with Michael, Claire, Kevin, and others involved in the production!
